Crate Training
It is important to properly crate train your dog for various benefits, such as easier toilet training, teaching boundaries and a secure space for them to feel comfortable in.
Nevertheless, it is important to note that crate training is not the answer for every dog and should never be used as a substitute for the necessary exercise and mental stimulation they require. Additionally, no dog should be left in a crate, or anywhere else, for prolonged periods of time.

If you have a puppy or an adult dog that enjoys chewing, due the materials this product may not be the ideal option for you.
Instead, we suggest that you opt for crate training with a wire-framed crate until your dog is comfortable being in a crate
The process of training a dog with a crate can vary in length, depending on its age, attitude, and previous encounters. As you go through this process, it's critical to keep in mind that the crate should always have a pleasant association and training should take place in gradual, incremental steps. Here is how you can introduce your dog to the crate:
Step 1: Familiarising your pet with the crate
Position the crate in a prominent area in the house that your family spends a great deal of time in, like the living room. Leave it open so that the dog can explore the crate as it pleases, making sure that the door is open and secured so it doesn't suddenly bang shut and scare your pet. Your pet’s experience in and around the crate should be positive and playful.Try placing small treats, toys or a lick mat in and around the crate and encourage them to step in and retrieve them.
Step 2: Feeding your pet in the crate
Once your pet has become familiar with the crate, you can start feeding it regular meals close to it, further building a positive association with the crate . Gradually begin to close the door during meals. At first, open it once your pet finishes it’s meal, but each time try to extend the length of time it spends in the crate
Step 3: Gradual Extension
When your dog has developed a good comfort level with the crate, begin to confine it there while you're still home. Guide it to the crate with your command and give it a treat. Stay close to the crate for five to ten minutes, then take a few steps away and observe. After a few minutes, return, stay for a brief time, and then release your dog. Practice this process several times a day and increase the length of time it stays in the crate as well as the length of time you stay out of sight.
Clean area with a damp wet cloth and dry immediately.
